Dirigible is an open source project that provides Integrated Development Environment as a Service (IDEaaS) as well as the runtime engines integration for the running applications. The applications created with Dirigible comply with the Dynamic Applications concepts and structure. The environment itself runs directly in the browser, therefore does not require additional downloads and installations. It packs all the needed components, which makes it self-contained and well integrated software bundle that can be deployed on any Java based Web Server such as Tomcat, Jetty, JBoss connected via JDBC to the RDBMS of your choice (currently supported versions for RDBMS are HANA 1.x and MaxDB, experimental - Sybase ASE).

The Dirigible project came out of an internal SAP initiative to address the extension and adaptation use-cases around SOA and Enterprise Services. On one hand in this project were implied the lessons learned from the standard tools and approaches so far and on the other hand, there were added features aligned with the most recent technologies and architectural patterns related to Web 2.0 and HTML5, which made it complete enough to be used as the only tool and environment needed for building and running on demand application in the cloud.

Dirigible project is deployed and tested against the HANA Cloud Platform.

You can start by creating your own unlimited free trial account at https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com/ with HANA database underneath.

Sandbox instance with restricted functionality is available at: http://sandbox.dirigible.io.

1. Get the Maven build tool version 3.0.x

2. Clone the repository https://github.com/SAP/cloud-dirigible.git or download the latest release.

3. Go to the folder com.sap.dirigible.parent

4. Build the project executing:

    mvn clean install
   

5. The build should pass successfully

6. The two produced WAR files dirigible-ide*.war and dirigible-runtime*.war are ready to be deployed

1. Alternatively you can download the WAR files produced by the latest release from: https://github.com/SAP/dirigible/releases/

1. Deploy on HANA Cloud Platform with the Cloud SDK.

2. Get the SDK from https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#cloud

3. Go to neo-java-web-sdk-1.xxx/tools folder

4. Deploy with command:

    neo deploy --account <your_account> --application <application_name> --user <your_user> --host <target_landscape_host> --source <source_directory> --password <your_password>
   

5. Start with command:

    neo start --account <your_account> --application <application_name> --user <your_user> --host <target_landscape_host> --password <your_password> -y
   

1. The same WAR files can be deployed on Tomcat Web Container. In this case the built-in Derby database will be used.

2. For simplicity rename the WAR respectively dirigible-ide.war for IDE and dirigible.war for Runtime

3. Configure Users store:

    <tomcat-users>
            <role rolename="Developer"/>
            <role rolename="Operator"/>
            <role rolename="Everyone"/>
            <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="Developer,Operator,Everyone"/>
    </tomcat-users>
   

4. Open a Web Browser and go to location:

    http://localhost:8080/dirigible-ide (IDE)
    http://localhost:8080/dirigible     (Runtime)
   
    and login with tomcat/tomcat
   

1. The IDE part can be run directly via the Eclipse. This is useful for easy testing of new features during development

2. Import the project as existing Maven project into your local Eclipse environment

3. Go to project com.sap.dirigible.ide.target and open the file with the same name with the Target Editor

4. Click on the Set as Target Platform link and wait until the required bundles get synchronized

5. Use dirigible-local.launch file to Run As configuration

6. Open a Web Browser and go to location

    http://localhost:8080/dirigible
